[RULE] TinyX-4.3.0-6RULE (kdrive with xkb) Howto?

Hello All

Living in Greece, I want to try through xkb to get an additional layout for 
Greek. Thus Michael recompiled the TinyX package with xkb.

Slinky at version 0.3.96 is still using the smaller package, TinyX-4.3.0-5RULE 
which hasn't got xkb.

Now to my question:

If XFree86 were being used, these additions to the keyboard section of 
XF86Config would make xkb work as desired:

Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel"   "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout"   "us,el"
Option "XkbOptions"  "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

But Xvesa does not use this config file. Instead, some extra parameters are 
added in the startx script, e.g.

defaultserverargs="-screen 800x600x24 -2button"

(which is all that is needed to get a working resolution and color depth while 
emulating a 3 button mouse.) 
What additional parameters will do the trick?

Looking in /etc/X11/sysconfig/xkb/README.config a reference is made to setxkmap 
and how to alternatively get the options above to run but there doesn't seem to 
be a setxkmap in my minimal system.

Suggestions anyone??

Richard
